how can i cheaply and easily play me` bass through me` computer ,(not good with computers by the way). it may also help if i mention the bass in use will be active, all help very gratefully recieved , also looking for a headphone amp or very small practice amp as trust me i need to practice a lot more, many thanks ,mark .

do you mix bicarb and glue 1st before filling??

hi everyone hope you are all well!! got a problem, do not laugh,bought a vintage(make) v900eb active, i have a problem with the e string at the nut...it is too low ,relief on the neck is fine . i think it has been either set too low or filed out ???. question 1.should i replace the nut and shim up a little quetion 2. this is where you all laugh...can i build up the groove with someting and re file?? help please guys. i know lots of questions will follow this posting as a lot of set up issues are raised but i have explored all routes on curing this annoying problem, it causes the e string to vibrate on the frets [b]behind[/b]my left hand,all other aspect of the set up are fine to the best of my research/knowledge. no it is not new. yes i know they are not great. i am a bit scared of removing the nut .but not that scared . any and all constructive advice welcome. cheers guys , mark.

thanks for the warm welcome!!!. have always tried to avoid gas as it is explosive and does`nt smell too good!!(no offence it`s a joke). as for just aquiring a laser you lucky b****rd enjoy it, they are as smooth as a baby`s bum i am very jelous,,,,, ,,,,,seriously very jealous. terry? ...another illusion shattered!. can anyone suggest good strings i never understood guages etc any advice welcome, will continue search for the elusive active laser, cheers all, mark.

hellllloooo, right where to start ?,please excuse my inane rambling as i am somewhat tangental, just decided my midlife crisis is to go back to bass playing turned forty but cheaper than a mistress or sports car (do not want one of them as i have a bike,not part of my mid life crisis always tried to keep riding(suzuki gs750 heavily modded) but had a break of seven years cos of daughter.....shes great!. ). never was much cop on a bass but really did use to enjoy it and after getting meself a aria pro 2 magna series and a cheap 40 watt amp i am finding despite still being crap i really like it as it is not engineering d i y or working. so here is the first in along string of drivel !. always had trouble with me right hand speed tend to fall over myself a lot if that makes sense or at best a dubious dubl`e entendre` i know i spelt it wrong but who cares too old to be bothered now,any ideas or stratergies welcome or net help???. used to play a aria heritage laser (active) ,,now realising i never should have sold it played much smoother with that old crate so if anyone fancies a swap for my pristine magna mail me!!, even if the laser is scabby as long as it is straight i dont mind. like playing all sorts but love geezer butler(sabbath) have managed to hack out a few songs in the past two weeks all be it a bit sketchy but loadsa fun and my daughter is well amazed as she thinks i am a boring old fart these days, she likes the white stripes and ...wait for it queen!!!. so we have lots of time together when ma` is at work laughing loads and taking the pee out of each other other stuff i like includes audioweb,the cult ,thin lizzy,lynarnd skynard,and some 70`s and 80`s rock,,,boring eh?. well thats me really up here in the wilds of norfolk, i suppose i need to practice more and develop my own styles etc and learning to read music is the next step. i have no problem rattling out a scale but loads of problems following some song and figuring it out, it all seems or i make it seem more complicated than it should be especially when some of my friends who play six strings rattle `em out no probs. this is starting to sound depressive it should not be, i love the bass and think it is and has always has been a vastly underated instument , just listen to dirty women by black sabbath or for a simpler song rain by the cult without the bass they are bugger all. hi ,,love to all,and once again hello, yours all bassed up yet again 15 years on , mark.
